So you can take a jaunt to the shop, get some inspiration and then order exactly what you want online. Don't be leaving it to the last minute if you have a party to go to though. They have all sorts of costumes - from complete sets all ready for you to just put on or accessories to make that outfit complete. Lesser known than some other fancy dress shops so you'll be less likely to turn up to a party in the same costume as someone else! Don't take my word for it, go and have a look!

It also stocks party stuff for most other occasions. The best thing about this shop is how it almost completely changes its front window and most of its stock for the upcoming holiday or occasion that's coming up. Last Halloween I went here to get my costume, hoping to avoid the bigger queues in the main fancy dress store in town, Elliotts. Party Solutions was just as busy, I had to charge through the crowds to get what I wanted, but I paid a lot less than what I would have at some of the other stores!

First time at the Maldron. Overall it was good. Nice looking lobby area…read more The room was small, really small. The room had two beds. But it was such a small room the beds were too close together and we had to walk sideways in between the beds. There was no dresser so we had to live out of a suitcase on the floor for a week. The room overall appeared clean except for the phone cord had a thick layer of dust in between the loops. (You could clearly see it.) The bathroom. The walk in shower was nice with a rain shower and separate handheld. The water temperature was super hot. Way too hot and room would fog up. Because the shower is open to the door, the door had major water damage and was swollen and couldn't be closed all the way. The door jam was also had water damage. Aesthetically unappealing. The restaurant was very nice and the food was good. The staff were super nice about food orders. Enjoyed the meals. Some of the staff (front desk, restaurant and housekeeping) were very nice and others not as much. But overall the nice staff outweighed the not as nice staff. Location is close to City Hall and Donegall Square which is what I wanted. And it was centrally located within walking distance to a lot in the area.

When we arrived at the apartment I was a little grossed out at the elevator and hallway, but it got worse when I walked into the apartment. Huge cobweb over one of the beds. The bat h room had stains on wall, dented bathtub surround, and possibly mold around the bath/shower. I immediately started looking for other accommodations. I went to front desk who showed me two separate rooms which I didn't find much better than the apartment. The clerk was not about to lose the reservation so we ended up getting two executive rooms which were adjoining rooms. It was better than its other options there, but still had issues. Water stains on ceiling, tiles on shower stall missing, hole in bathroom wall (I stuffed it with tissue). Best if all I had numerous guests which came into my room and died. Moths were coming in from the air vent (I think). The only reason for 2 stars is the staff seemed very nice. I would not go there again. They did give me the same price for the 2 rooms which was much appreciated.

Clean, fresh, warm and welcoming with a huge choice, a good sized portion and a very decent price. The shop itself reminds me of a French deli with all the gorgeous cheeses on display and the shelves which are home to dips, spreads and chutneys! Seriously this is my kind of place! I once had a white chocolate cheesecake in here many moons ago and the image and taste are well engraved in my memory - it looked like something out of a magazine and the taste was thick, creamy yet melting and amazing. I sound like a freak but I will never forget it - haven't tasted one like it since. I can't rave about this place and the food enough - just go, you'll love it!

Upon presenting ourselves in the bar area, we were promptly greeted and shown to some ornate seats, then presented with a tray of assorted snack crackers while we perused the menu. Shortly thereafter, we were also delivered a refreshing welcome libation. Totally unexpected, and a gracious touch of hospitality. Cocktail offerings span the gamut of base spirits and flavor combinations. Each drink was cleverly appellated with a mononym that captured its essence. After some consultation with our server, Conor, I opted to start with the Chocolate, while my sister ordered a Rhubarb. As one might expect of an establishment that's earned two pins from the Pinnacle Guide, service was blazingly prompt (I'm always surprised when I don't have to wait a good ten minutes between ordering a craft cocktail and having it show up at my table), the drinks themselves were flawlessly balanced, and I do -so- love when bars have both proper ice and glassware that shows off its contents. The Merchant's Hotel bar (over)delivers on absolutely every aspect of the tippling experience. Our first round was so delightful, I was loath to leave before sampling their other offerings. I was torn between the Ginger (because, poitín) and the Orange (because, local whiskey), but Conor surprised me with an invitation to going off-menu. Hey, if it's an adventure involving alcohol, I'm there! He suggested a Vieux Carré. Okay. Total sidebar: I'd just recently learned from my sister that one of my absolute favorite bars in Chicago -- The Violet Hour -- had closed. It was one of the earliest craft cocktail establishments I'd ever patronized, and it was also the first place I'd ever been served a Vieux Carré. The unlikely confluence of my learning of Violet Hour's demise, its association with this particular cocktail, and being offered one halfway across the globe screams a little too much of cosmic syzygy to write off as pure happenstance. Aaaaaaaanyway, obviously, I immediately said yes. To which Conor then followed up with a, "How much Bailey's would you like in that?" It took me half a beat before I was like, "Wait a minute..." I think his cheeky grin was evidence that he was either joking, testing me, or some combination of both. Fortunately, I caught the game. And, friends, I can heartily confirm that this Vieux Carré was arguably better than any I've had in NOLA. Seriously, the folks behind the bar know their craft. In case it hasn't already been abundantly clear that I'm enamored with this venue, I'll close with this: during my 14-day tour around the island, drinks at the cocktail bar at the Merchant's Hotel stands out at the single most delightful experience of my entire trip. If I'm ever back on the Emerald Isle, you can expect I'll be making a return visit.

The location is perfect and within walking distance of a nice amount of stores and places to discover. I loved that I was able to see a beautiful church from my window and being able to open it slightly to allow the nice weather in was amazing as well! The hotel offers free water bottles (two) daily and the turn down service was amazing to have when we came back in after a night out having some amazing food. The prices for the hotel were pretty decent and the amenities I got from staying here were pretty nice as well! They offer breakfast buffet but it is on the higher end so I went to explore the local areas around the hotel! The place was super clean as well and everything was kept up to date and looking fresh! A wonderful hotel and one that I will be staying at again if I ever get the chance to visit Belfast again in the future!
